Interactive Workshop: M&A as both a growth and exit strategy...A multicultural survival kit

If “culture eats strategy for breakfast”, what happens with your lunch and dinner, when cross-cultural considerations arrive at the heart of your business case?

Buying, selling or merging often means across borders. Building value in mergers starts often with strategic fit, but are aspects of cross-cultural integrations fully considered to synergise the mergers? Apparently not; 50% of deals fail and cross-cultural integration is a key success factor

Transformation of logistics means evolving models of cooperation. How then to reconcile traditional cultures with agile digital business operations? How to work together to manage complex operations where the business cultures differ so strongly, and the competitive landscape requires the highest grade of efficiency?
